ABOUT
Koutelos beach, situated approximately 4 kilometres from Frangokastello and in close proximity to Nomikiana and Vouva, Sfakia, boasts a serene atmosphere with a few trees, smooth round pebbles, and crystal-clear waters. While it may not offer many amenities, apart from a taverna, this sheltered and tranquil beach is a perfect spot for relaxation. Towards the west, a rock acts as a natural boundary, separating Koutelos from the bay of Pera Koutelos, which features more sandy shores. Moreover, the area between Koutelos and Vatalos, Frangokastello is adorned with numerous small beaches accessible by boat, adding to the allure of the region.
In close proximity to the beach, lies a small cave known as Anarapsi. While it is easily accessible from the sea, entry from the land is challenging.
Access to the location is feasible both by car and by sea.
